I have a 4 year old bsl that hasn't laid in months. She moulted just as the days shortened and I didn't worry. A while back I noticed her sneezing and sometimes having a line of drool but it was winter, the others were fine, and she was always at the waterer when I saw this. Spring is springing and the other 2 have started laying. This one, Hipsy is her name, is still not laying. Her breath is horrendous, her mouth looks pasty like it is super dry, feathers are in good condition, she has lost weight and is desperate to come into the house-i take them into the garage when someone is sick or it is too cold so I think she just likes it. Her crop is empty in the morning and fills throughout the day. She doesn't seem keen on her feed but is ravenous for the cat food when she gets inside.
I've been treating her with 10mg ketoconazol twice a day for 5 days. She is sneezing/drooling much less but stinks and is very needy. Since bringing her in I've noticed she hardly poops. Yesterday she dropped 2 tiny little turds, I'd describe them as constipated turds. She did drop a nice big, normal looking deuce overnight. Today, only 1 little poop and another tiny one.
I've never had sour crop but I've been reading and I'm not convinced. Ive checked in the morning-crop is empty. At bed, crop is full. Throughout the day, the crop gets bigger, goes thru the regular hard and soft times, just like the others. Maybe she is constipated? I will add molasses to her water tomorrow but wanted to ask advice. Her breath...and her mouth is pasty. She is my favorite and I don't really care if she is done laying. But I'd have thought she would still drop the odd egg if she was healthy.
I tried vomiting her this morning and her crop was empty. Thought?
